Apache2 "You don't have permission to access / on this server"

Cannot access document root folder files - get this error:

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Apache version

Server version: Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu)

Virtual Host Configuration Inside sites-available

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName site1

        ServerAlias www.site1


        RailsEnv production
        RackEnv production


        DocumentRoot /var/www/site1/webservices/public

        <Directory "/var/www/site/webservices/public">
                Options FollowSymLinks
                AllowOverride None
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
                Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
        </Directory>


</VirtualHost>

Inside apache2/hosts file added

127.0.0.1 site1

Restarted Apache2

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Can it be a permission issue?

I think you need to tell Apache what to do with folders (as / is a folder). You need to tell Apache what file should be used to list the folder content.

Try to set:

DirectoryIndex index.html

Now for ruby I'm not sure, but maybe you forgot the index.html file?

On the Options settings you could add Indexes, and remove Multiviews in case of, as Multiviews try to guess the file to use and this makes things harder usually. So using something like:

Options FollowSymLinks Indexes -Multiviews
